Flying Spiders

Legacy Member

Shortly before the time of writing, I played a game of Royal Arena in which a spider appeared to be hovering in the air. I assume that it climbed up barrier blocks in the middle of the arena, and I also assume that this is not supposed to happen.

It's a known thing Spiders occasionally do, but believe it or not, but this is actually what makes them good. If a hostile entity has targeted that Spider, it'll try to get to it and not attack anything else, making it easy for other mobs to take it down. It is sort of a random occurrence, but I kinda like the way this can shake up the game. For now, I'd like to keep it that way, but I suspect it'll be fixed at some point. Not by me, but by Minecraft itself, as I would have to completely restructure the arena, and add a lower barrier ceiling to it, which I'd like to avoid since that would mess with Skeletons performing higher shots.
